I agree. Its not fair to the men who will be serving with women in combat. Its bad enough for them to have to watch their captured comrades be beaten, tortured and murdered but having to watch a female comrade raped to death is going to be terrible.

For another excellent perspective on this issue, here's a superb article from the Marine Corps Gazette by a female Marine officer:

We are not all created equal

“... wouldn’t you do the same so your terrorist allies could destroy your military..”

That is exactly what I would do if I wanted to weaken the U.S. via weakening the military. I would allows gays to serve openly and I would allow women to serve in the front lines. Next... I would have women/gays given slots in special forces (Delta, Seals etc). Finally, I would reduce/eliminate any sort of physical standards like weight, etc (I believe this part is coming). A hundred pounds overweight and can’t walk to your mailbox? Fine... sign here and you can be a Ranger (or name whatever you want to do). All part of the big plan IMHO.

Obama would transform our military from a fighting force to peacekeepers, relief aid delivery forces and social workers. He and other liberals have no concept that the capability to wage real wars is needed to protect this country. If we are unfortunate enough to be hit with another 9-11 size attack, Obama’s response will be to use DHS and the FBI and maybe call on the UN.

The Israelis learned after the 1948 war what happens when you have women in combat.

It’s not just that men will worry more about protecting the women than the mission. It’s not just that they will be angry when one of their female soldiers gets killed.

It’s that killing and mutilating a female soldier, as Muslims really know how to do, will make our troops so pissed off that they will thereafter MASSACRE the next group of jihadis they meet, and their won’t be a damn thing their officers will be able to do to stop them.
